Corsair has released a pair of gaming headsets in their VOID lineup, with the new VOID Surround Hybrid and a white version of the VOID Wireless RGB.
The VOID Surround Hybrid Gaming Headset
"The VOID Surround Hybrid Stereo Gaming Headset brings Corsair’s most advanced gaming headset to the widest range of devices yet. VOID Surround’s mobile-compatible 3.5mm connector offers instant connectivity to virtually any audio source, as well as full headset capability with Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One (requires Xbox One Wireless Controller with a 3.5mm port or Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter)."
With the addition of a 3.5 mm analog input the Hybrid version of the VOID Surround can be used with virtually any device, though to experience surround effects the headset still needs to be connected via USB.
"For connection to a PC, VOID Surround includes a USB 7.1 Dolby headphone adapter, unlocking genuine Dolby Surround for deadly accurate positional audio, as well as a fully customizable EQ in the Corsair CUE (Corsair Utility Engine) software."
The new white version of the VOID Wireless RGB headset
The new VOID Wireless RGB headset released is simply a new white color, so specs and features remain constant from the previous options. As to pricing, MSRPs for these headsets are $79.99 for the VOID Surround Hybrid, and $129.99 for the VOID Wireless RGB, making them more affordable than some of the competition at the high end of the market.
Here are the features and specs for both headsets from Corsair:

Corsair is also announcing a new feature for their Corsair Utility Engine software, called "VOID Visualizer":
"Combining a digital Corsair VOID headset (VOID Wireless, USB or Surround) with any RGB-enabled keyboard (such as the K70 RGB or Strafe RGB) enables gamers to unleash a stunning multi-color graphic equalizer on their keyboard, turning it into a real-time display of the active audio or microphone signal. Compatible with VOID Surround, VOID RGB Wireless and VOID RGB USB headsets, VOID Visualizer can be enabled with just a few clicks in the Corsair Utility Engine."
Amazon listings for the VOID Surround Hybrid and the white VOID Wireless RGB are already up, and both headsets should be available now wherever Corsair products are sold.

Would be interested to see how this compares to the G933 review that was just put – considering the void is cheaper as well and has individual drivers for 7.1 surround sound?
